Top Glove cuts loss to $16.5m in 1Q24

The company narrowed its losses despite a lower revenue for the period.

Top Glove cut its losses to $16.5m (MYR 57.7m) in 1Q24 from $48.1m (MYR 168.2m) in the preceding quarter.

The company likewise narrowed its loss after tax to $13.5m (MYR 47.2m) from $45.1m (MYR 157.6m) in 4Q23.

In the same period, the company recorded earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortisation (EBITDA) of MYR 21m (+132% YoY) and a total positive cash inflow from operations of MYR 17m (+120% YoY) which are areas of priority for the group.

The group attributed its improved bottom line to its ongoing operational, quality and cost optimisation efforts, which helped mitigate the increase in raw material prices. 

Additionally, the uptick in its sales volume, which led to increased utilisation and efficiencies, also had a positive effect on the bottom line.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
